Then the next day they said I may have a hole in my esophagus too, which was why I wasn’t allowed to eat any food or drink any water the whole 2 days there. They only brought me ice chips and I told the MA, “hey man, I’m just going to leave these chips sitting here until they melt and turn into water and drink that, how about we skip all that and just bring me water now?” but he said he couldn’t do it. The next day they wouldn’t discharge me until they did a test where they filled my stomach with some glowing radioactive liquid that they could use to see if there were any holes in my Esophagus too. They said if I DID have a hole there and I ate food, the food would get out into my chest cavity and cause a life threatening meningital infection. I said “FYI I ate a sandwich before coming here AFTER the symptoms began. They said I might have just been lucky the food passed BY the hole then. I said no more tests, let me leave. The medical director came over and gave me a hard time but ultimately eventually let me leave. $22,000 bill still, woulda probably been over 30k had they been able to continue to ring it up Then later, I fucked up my elbow nerve playing this game P99, and had to get a nerve conductor test. The doctor was some crusty old white dude who immediately said “I don’t want any crying, or yelling, or swearing”. I started to laugh assuming it was a joke and he just stared at me. So then I asked “is this going to hurt?” And be said “yes, that’s why I said no yelling, no crying, and no cussing”. And I wanted to say “hey dude I’m paying YOU. I’m the customer here” But I said nothing. Then later I asked what would happen if I chose NOT to get the surgery he recommended to fix the nerve and he just said “regret”, and wouldn’t even elaborate. Dude was a cunt Then when I was much younger but still an adult I had a doctor rupture my eardrum when trying to flush out wax that had built up. The pain was unlike anything I had felt, my vision went white, I broke into a sweat and yelled “STOP!” and involuntarily balled up a fist to punch the doctor in pure self-defense because it felt like he had just shot me in the head with a gun. I slumped over and focused on not throwing up. The doctor CLAIMED, that the wax had peeled the inside of my eardrum off as it came loose, but my family believed he just went too hard with the water gun. My ear bled out the entire rest of the day So I’ve had some bad medical experiences which is why I try to avoid doctors and hospitals as much as possible | |||

They told me it was going to cost $550 and they were doing both arms. I said my right arm is completely fine so how about we just do the left and it cost $225 and they laughed and said naw it’s 550 no matter what, even with 1 arm done. So I figured since I have to pay the full amount may as well get both done That was a mistake. Didn’t realize how much it was gonna hurt, and no reason to do that on my right arm... It came back with severe ulnar nerve damage on my left and so I need surgery. Been putting it off but will prolly get it in July | |||
